Annual Financial Report
Each year, the City prepares an annual financial report. The annual financial report is also known as the comprehensive annual financial report. The comprehensive annual financial report includes several reports and financial statements including the independent auditor’s report, a list of City officials, an organizational chart, basic financial statements, a schedule of investments, and a statistical section. The statistical section includes information regarding City debt, property tax, demographics, and other miscellaneous facts.
Financial Statements
In addition to collecting and analyzing financial data, the Accounting Group reports financial data to City management, its creditors, and the public in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Group’s goal is to maintain an accounting system that both reasonably safeguards the public resources entrusted to the City and also provides accurate, timely, and relevant reporting.
Investments and Banking
The Investing Group is responsible for managing the City’s portfolio. The City’s investment policies are designed to maximize yield while ensuring safety of the funds and sufficient liquidity to cover disbursements and payroll.
